A dificuldade de ser recebida depois a atendente tentou alegar que la não era hostel juntou com o taxista que eu estava usando para leva eu para outro local .houve um momento que eu alequei que ficaria la esperando que ja havia ligado para voces e como era fuso horario eu esperaria chagar a hora certa para ligar para voces . A moça entao resolveu me colocar para dentro do estabelecimento e ligou para o patrao e liberou um quarto em pessimas condicoes...... mas foi melhor do que ficar na rua.
